Panettone Bread Pudding

Makes 12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (1-pound) loaf (about 454 grams) panettone, cut into 1-inch cubes (see Note)
  • 4 cups (960 grams) prepared eggnog
  • ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (220 grams) firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs (250 grams), room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) ground cinnamon
  • cups (141 grams) sliced almonds, divided
  • ½ cup (100 grams) fresh or thawed frozen cranberries

Instructions

  • Spray a 9-inch baking dish with baking spray with flour.
  • In a large bowl, toss together panettone cubes and eggnog. Let stand for about 20 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in sugars, and cook, whisking occasionally, until moistened and combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in eggs, nutmeg, and cinnamon until smooth. Pour egg mixture over panettone mixture. Gently fold in 1 cup (113 grams) almonds. Spoon into prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Unwrap pan; loosely cover with foil.
  • Bake until edges are slightly set, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Uncover and sprinkle with cranberries and remaining ¼ cup (28 grams) almonds. Bake until almonds are lightly golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 170°F (76°C), 20 to 25 minutes more. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

Note: Our Essential Panettone (page 56 of our November/December 2021 issue) is the perfect bread for this morning delight. But if you’re short on your 1 pound of panettone, you can use a blend of panettone and enriched bread such as brioche.
